Irony: Harry Reid arrives at clean energy summit in fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs

Many of us "little people" say that we will take global warming seriously when those that preach it take it seriously. It's hard to listen to someone like Al Gore preach global warming when 1) he flies around in private jets that are known to emit massive amounts of carbon and 2) live in homes that consume 45 times the amount of energy of an average American household. Harry Reid is in the same way a eco-hypocrite, blasting SUVs as unnecessary gas guzzlers while driving around in fleets of them. Henry Payne caught onto Reid's hypocrisy when Reid showed up at a clean energy summit in a fleet of Chevy Suburbans, GMs largest SUVs. Even worse, he lectured the environmentalists having just stepped out of his SUV with it clearly in the background. Here's the pic that Henry posted over at The Michigan View:
"Pay no attention to the giant SUVs behind me"
Did the guys in the green hardhats not notice as they clapped like trained seals? From Henry Payne's article:
The Heartland Institute reports that while the Senate Majority Hypocrite "and other high-profile environmental activists blasted carbon-based fuels at the Reid-sponsored summit, Reid and other bigwigs were caught on film driving to and from the summit in several SUVs."
"I was absolutely astonished, not to mention appalled, that Harry Reid would retain a fleet of gas-guzzling SUVs so that he and a few aides would not have to walk the mere 100 yards to address environmental activists," said Heartland Institute Senior Fellow James M. Taylor, who took the attached photo. "If greenhouse gas emissions are such a problem, you would think Reid might have actually made the short stroll through the parking lot, or at least retain Priuses rather than large SUVs for the summit," said Taylor.
If you all might recall, a similar incident happened with Reid in 2007 when he drove a Chevy Suburban ACROSS THE STREET OF THE CAPITOL to hold a news conference on energy efficiency. I kid you not! From Michelle Malkin in 2007: Pictures worth a thousand words: Harry Reid and Cameron Diaz
The caption reads:
"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid walks from his Chevrolet Suburban (left) to attend a news conference on energy efficiency Wednesday in Upper Senate Park. Reid rode in the sport utility vehicle from the Capitol to the event, which was across the street."
This is further proof that the global warming movement is an utter fraud. If the proponents by their actions don't believe it, why should anyone else?
